------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 2.0.7 SUMMARY : new stable release DATE : Jan 8, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (2.0.7) has been released. For latest fixes in the 2.0.x branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: 2.0.7 Thu, 03 Jan 2008 07:01:59 +0100 Bugfixes: * Fixed UNIX domain socket destinations on Solaris. * Fixed flow-control behaviour for follow-mode source files. * Added the "mark" keyword to be an alias of "mark_freq" for compatibility with syslog-ng 1.6. * Fixed message loss in destination files during configuration reloads if syslog-ng is heavily loaded. * Fixed a possible segmentation fault in the dns-cache-host() file parsing code for improperly formatted host files. * Fixed possible "Insufficient buffer space" errors in the STREAMS driver. * Fixed the starvation of the timer used to reap unused destination files, which could cause some files never to be closed under heavy load. * Fixed ISO timestamp parsing for timestamps that have no timezone information or have a too long fraction of a second portion. * Added a workaround for possible deadlocks on /proc/kmsg and user terminals. * Fixed program name parsing that caused problems for TAG values that include the '/' character. This problem was introduced by 2.0.6. Other changes: * The fsync() option was implemented. * Added support for file sources that do not exist at startup. * Added support the "--persist-file" configuration option. * Added support for timestamps used by some LinkSys routers. * Added loggen tool to generate syslog messages at the specified rate.
